Volnay Clos Les Mitans 2005 Domaine Michel Lafarge

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The new, dedicated Lafarge bottling of 2005 Volnay Mitans also displays exotic florality and faintly bitter citrus zest and fruit pit character to accompany its ripe but tart cherry and red currant fruit. A rich meat broth character and subtle minerality add depth and complexity on the palate, and this finishes with fine tannins and multi-registered fruit, meat and mineral notes. I imagine this formidably-concentrated wine being a promising candidate for at least 6-8 years of aging, though given the absence of any specific track record, one might want to check in on it sooner.
